Whatever, I'm happy with it It was mostly a test, since this is the second India Ink painting I make ! After this [link]But first time I try a portrait on this technique I'll work on improvement of backgrounds, I promise ;

And.... yeah, this is my character Kotono, hehe

Dimentions: 11" x 15" (27.9 x 38.1 cm) Watercolour paper

Edit: I saw the angle of the picture wasn't right so I re took itAnd suppose it's a better resolution? hehe.

Yaaaaah and it took me only like 6 hours D8 even I can't believe it came out surprisingly well done ;; Thank you so much!! It took a while, though, to get the drawing right... because this painting is kinda bigger than I'm used to work on, and proportions were the biggest problem....But hey you say the eyes and the hand are nice, I feel so much better x3 Thank you for the faves and the comments

Even if it's old, this is absolutely stunningly beautiful and detailed. I just love the texture of the ink, the shading on her hair and the rose leaf, and in her BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL EYES. It's really difficult to shade as clearly and presisely as you did here, so I really, really admire the effort you must've put into it.

The other painting is just as lovely. It looks exactly like a still from a black-and-white film.

Awww thnk you very much! x)India ink... I've not idea why is it called like that but it's actually the kind of ink Chinesse and Japanese people use to practice calligraphie [link]a very liquidish and deep dark ink, easy to mix with water to create soft shades C: and it's fun to use!
